Ep. 02: Immune System Boost
Our body is equipped with its own defence mechanism called the immune system. When our immune system works well, it activates a variety of processes to protect us against deadly threats such as invading microbes and cellular diseases.
In fact, as you are reading this, your immune system is recruiting specialized cells into service to remain on guard because exposure to pathogens and toxins are inevitable. Moreover, the current pandemic caused by Covid-19 is all the more reason for us to take necessary measures to ensure that our immune system is functioning efficiently to confer the best possible protection to us.
In this episode, we have collaborated with Dr Amir Hamzah who is a consultant in Clinical Immunology, Allergy and Paediatrics and has been in private practice since 2011 primarily based at Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur. Prior to private practice, he was Associate Professor at Monash University Malaysia and Universiti Putra Malaysia.
Also, Dr Amir is the President of the Malaysian Society of Allergy and Immunology, 2ndVice-President of the Asia Pacific Association of Allergy, Asthma and Clinical Immunology and Secretary of the Asia Pacific Society for Primary Immunodeficiencies (APSID). He serves on the Editorial Boards AP Allergy and the European Medical Journal (Allergy & Immunology).
Your immune system could use a boost from you. Tune in to find out how you can do so in our latest episode with an immunity expert!
